home design app tips and tricks

Design Home is a new game for Android and iPhone that puts you in the shoes of a wannabe room designer and other players are your judges. The game challenges you to design rooms based on specific instructions.

Things won't be as easy as they might seem since limited funds and certain restrictions will be in place, but the overall experience will be great. I love this game and apparently everybody else does!

So I decided to come and share with you some Design Home cheats and tips to help you win the challenges.

Let's not waste a single second now! If you have installed the Design Home: House Renovation game from Crowdstar and you can't win your challenges or you're already out of money, read on tips and cheats and you'll improve your game!

1. Don't waste money early on

When you start playing the game, it seems that you don't have any items to play with. Although that is mostly true, you should learn to make the most out of what you have.

Instead of wasting money on the best looking items, keep an eye on the prices and buy the cheapest available. You will see that otherwise you will run out of money really fast.

2. Pay attention to the theme

Each design challenge has to follow a theme: make sure that you know what that theme is and try to design accordingly.

For example, if you have to design a minimalist & modern place, don't bring redneck stuff and heavy leather items.

Just follow the theme and you will do just great! And don't forget that sometimes less is more: you don't have to fill the room with decorations and stuff every time you create a design!

3. Copy what others are doing

You will be voting a lot in the Design Home game by Crowdstar, so keep an eye on the ratings. See which designs get the better ratings and try to learn why were they considered better than the others.

You will soon see that people like complementing colors and items that go well one with another – so if you don't have the items required, it might be better to simply skip the design completely instead of filling it with items that don't belong.

You can also check out the top rated designers and rooms in the game for inspiration.

These are usually designs that are filled with premium items and rare ones that you might not have access too, but check them either way just to learn a bit about what gets voted highly!

4. Never stop voting

Pretty soon, you will most likely run out of money and you'll have nothing else left to do but to wait for the results of the rooms you have designed. In the mean time, vote as much as possible.

You get 3 keys for every 5 votes you cast and you usually need 25 keys to submit a single design… so keep voting! This also helps the game and keeps everything interesting.

And make sure you spend time to actually choose the design that looks best for you: tapping randomly on a room will only destroy this game!

5. Be patient and take your time

It's not easy to earn money in the game (but it's easy to buy stuff if you want to), so log in daily to pick up your rewards, invest in nice items knowing that you won't be able to have them all and be patient.

If you take a break from designing for a few days, you will have enough items and diamonds to build amazing designs that people will love.
